INFO

The Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth is a celebrated nightclub and performance venue situated in Los Angeles, California, United States. Housed within the historic Hayworth Theatre, which originally opened in 1927 as a Spanish Baroque-inspired movie house, Dynasty Typewriter has forged its own distinct identity since opening under that name in 2018. While honoring its cinematic roots, the Hayworth has transformed over the decades, notably transitioning from a cinema to a live performance venue, undergoing restorations to preserve its ornate architecture while updating the space for modern acoustics and comfort.
Today, Dynasty Typewriter is recognized for its vibrant, eclectic programming that includes stand-up comedy, storytelling, podcast tapings, music, and variety shows. Its reputation is built on being an intimate, artist-friendly space known for fostering creative experimentation and supporting a sense of community among performers and audiences alike. The venue has become culturally significant in Los Angeles, often described as a hub for rising talent and a haven for comedians and performers who appreciate its unique blend of nostalgia and contemporary energy.
Despite periods of renovation and, like many venues, interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dynasty Typewriter has retained its original location at MacArthur Park, continuing to evolve while holding onto the charm and character of the Hayworth Theatre. Its commitment to inclusivity, innovative programming, and authentic performances has cemented its status as a vital fixture in the city's arts landscape. Notable artists who have graced the stage at Dynasty Typewriter include international comedians and musicians such as John Mulaney, Ali Wong, Maria Bamford, Patton Oswalt, Demetri Martin, Margaret Cho, and Reggie Watts, as well as prominent local talents like Cameron Esposito, Paul F.
Tompkins, Rhea Butcher, Ron Funches, Kate Micucci, and the improv group Wild Horses. The venue has also hosted live recordings for popular podcasts such as "My Favorite Murder" and "The Dollop," and frequently supports up-and-coming artists who go on to achieve national and international acclaim.
